With your strategy, I was able to do it 2 more times and beat my score everytimes. Went from 6 rounds + 2 dus. To 7 rounds + 40 dus🥳🥳🥳. Can wait to know what this week gonna be. I will definetly watch your video before my first attempt😁
The single-knot savages whose parents didn’t raise them right!!😂😂😂 I was rolling at that part!!! And I HAD to come watch your strategy guide!! It’s tradition!! I’ve never missed one since 2017!! Thank you Coach Ben!!❤
Your tips have helped me a lot in in both the 24 1&2. I know I enjoyed the workouts much more with your guidance. You are my favorite RUclips coach. I work on all my CrossFit movements with your help. Thanks.
Great point about breathing during DUs. Actually one of my favorite things about the Open is having someone else count my double unders. I feel it makes it much easier than in a normal WOD where I am sub-vocalization my rep count.
Thank you Ben! Your tips on the set up for transitions really helped. Especially the row strap adjustment advice! That made it so much easier to get in and out of! Thank you!!! 👍
Merci beaucoup Ben pour ces partages et conseils avisés, je regarde chacune de tes recommandations pour les Opens. Cela m’apporte beaucoup de confort et de performance, Yann, Paris.
Slip in/out of rower, gold! DL alt grip, gold! DUs sets of 10, but yup I did forget double knot, yes lay it on! Great video, thanks! Was on track to get my goal of 5 rds, missed it by 43 DUs, yup it was those 10” to double knot right B4 I slipped in 😂
I don’t know why I didn’t see this yesterday before the 24.2 workout . It would have been so helpful. I’m new to CrossFit (less than 2 months ) and Ben’s tips are super helpful although right in the moment is hard to remember everything and for me , coordinating the moves is even harder but very helpful nonetheless. I still can’t do dubs and my deadlift weight was 75lbs , meaning I didn’t even to masters but it was still fun . Thanks a lot
Great rundown on transitions, a lot of athletes do not realize that 2-3 seconds on each transition will lead to a minute of lost work time at the end of the workout. This is going to be a great workout for those who can be disciplined with pace. Even the best athletes were only rowing a 1:43-1:46/500 pace. For athletes that have good doubles (im in the 200ish range unbroken) you suggest going unbroken? I was hoping to go unbroken on DUs and "rest" on the rower, always unbroken on the deadlifts.
I rowed a 2:10-2:15/500m and still got 9 rounds plus 3 reps (813 reps). I went SCREAMING fast on the deads and dubs. I think going fast on deads/dubs and "resting" on rower is a great idea!
I always double knot my shoes and the number of times they have come undone anyway during double-unders is insane. I have to purposely pull them so tight they’re hard to undo. This tip hits close to home. 😂
Will definetly help for my redo cauz 1st shot was hell😂 everything you said that was wrong, i did 😂 except to tight the shoes haha. Lets see if I will maybe have fun this time😂
Thanks for the video. My dub capacity is not to 50 currently. I can do the 50 but it tends to wear me out and loose form. I was thinking 30 break then 20… Also I second the comment on the rower, can you stop towing at say 280 then get your rollover cals to 300?
Wow, really so helpful Ben! I am struggling whether I should go for RX. I am a good rower and I can do 200+DUs. But my DL 1 RM is just 115. I thought to go for scalef before I have seen your Video with the recommendation to do single DL. Hmm- should I be bold to dare it?!
You are way ahead of me in jumping. Deadlift I can't do a to more. But I plan on rx. I won't get a ton of reps on. But a nice push that normally I wouldn't do. But it's the open!
I can turn about 150 unbroken dubs but scared I might spike my heart rate if I go unbroken. Thoughts on going unbroken if you’re proficient at dubs? Thanks Ben!
You can easily break up 30/20 to help keep your heartrate under control. Also focusing on breathing and not counting might help keep you more in control?
You didn't mention the timing of the last pull each round on the rower as regards roll-over meters. It looks like you can just stop pulling before you get to 300 and put the handle back in the holder and sit on the rower until it rolls over to 300...? Can you take your feet out before it gets to 300? (I'm thinking not.)
Yeah, looks like an even better setup is having the rope between the barbell and the rower. As long as your barbell doesn't roll around, that's better so you don't have to step over the barbell
I just can't get enough unbroken. I'll spend the whole workout stuck here. I know you say to never do singles in a workout but I'm thinking I need to scale this one. I'm 55 and not moving on to the next round so would you suggest I do singles and shoot for having this mastered by next year?
Can you do ANY double unders? It definitely doesn't matter if you have unbroken double unders.... just doing one at a time will get you through it with plenty of time to spare.
I have the EVO however I got a thicker cable with it than I was expecting. I want to replace the cable but haven’t figured how. Doesn’t seem as simple as my RPM
Tks for the tips…I disagree about DU, I believe the rest is on the row and the workout is about DU… I am gonna do this today lets see how it Goes!!! Good Lucky to everybody!!!

I have a 2,5 and a 5 ounce rope. Can’t string together any DU’s yet. But going to try to get trough 24.2 with least one round. Don’t ask me why, not sure.. anyway my question is which weight for the rope would you recommend trying with. The heavier one?
5 ounce is pretty heavy. Can you do one double under at a time? (not unbroken?) if so, which rope feels easier to get one? Use that one, and just chip away one rep at a time.
Thanks for the reply. By chipping away with the lighter rope one at a time I at least knocked out 256 reps. Next Open I`ll have them unbroken for sure!@@WODprep
Double knots are good but not too tight, some people like me have feet that will swell and hurt like crazy... so it's better if my shoes are not tight but still double knotted so they don't come apart.
Yeah that one isn't cheap, but their other ropes are a little more affordable! The Evo FRE is the same rope, but PVC handles instead of metal... saves a decent amount of $$ for a great rope!

@@BigBrown6931 well I finished , a little over 7R… deadlift started to do unbroken but from 3R : did 6/4, 7/3 but still shortest time consuming part … 😇
@@davidgreenall899My initial thought was to break it up early. For me personally, I always do so much better overall when I break up things early. When I don't I get fatigued. But you know your body best

Happened to me in 24.1 😂

I used your tip for the rower this morning. It definitely made it easier getting on and off the rower.
Glad it helped!
Thanks for the advices broo, greetings from El Salvador 🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻

I have done this workout 2 times, passing from 566 reps to 630 (7rounds). 2:00 minute pace on the row, 7-3 on DL and 50 unbroken DU.
Excellent as always. Thank you Ben!
Your videos are so good. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks for all tips Ben!! Youre a star!

Gotta really rip on those strings!
Thank you
Nice work, info helped last week esp position of the DB. This is 100% about pacing and can easily be lost or won on the DU imo
Amazing 👊 thanks bro. I will try to do it tomorrow! 🙏
Crush it!!!
Will definetly help for my redo cauz 1st shot was hell😂 everything you said that was wrong, i did 😂 except to tight the shoes haha. Lets see if I will maybe have fun this time😂
And women - don't put your ponytail too high cuz of the dubs ;) We weren't gonna get that hint here.
Yeah I totally forgot this one, oops :)
Thank for the shoe tie reminder....I had to tie mine in 24.1 🤦♀️
Thanks for the video. My dub capacity is not to 50 currently. I can do the 50 but it tends to wear me out and loose form. I was thinking 30 break then 20…
Also I second the comment on the rower, can you stop towing at say 280 then get your rollover cals to 300?
yes but you have to stay seated until it hits 300
Can't get off until it says 300. And breaking the double unders into 2 sets is a fine idea. Might help prevent from tripping too often.
I’m good for DU freak out/melt downs
someone's gotta do it
Wow, really so helpful Ben! I am struggling whether I should go for RX. I am a good rower and I can do 200+DUs. But my DL 1 RM is just 115. I thought to go for scalef before I have seen your Video with the recommendation to do single DL. Hmm- should I be bold to dare it?!
115 kg…, Not pound…
You are way ahead of me in jumping. Deadlift I can't do a to more. But I plan on rx. I won't get a ton of reps on. But a nice push that normally I wouldn't do. But it's the open!
@@ryansrandomvidsmakes sense to me- thanks for sharing your opinion ❤
Yeah you can just take your time on the Deadlifts, wear a belt, and go singles. Then crush those double unders like you can! ":)
What is the row resistance setting for the 24.2 ?
Thanks Ben! What do you recommend on the Rower dampener setting?
Usually 4-6 at low elevation/higher air densities, 5-7 at higher elevation/lower air densities. NOT A 10!!
First Double under and first Bar muscle up was because of wodprep
amazing!
I can turn about 150 unbroken dubs but scared I might spike my heart rate if I go unbroken. Thoughts on going unbroken if you’re proficient at dubs? Thanks Ben!
Full send!!
You can easily break up 30/20 to help keep your heartrate under control. Also focusing on breathing and not counting might help keep you more in control?
you can do over 300 DU unbroken? if its true, then its amazing! my best is 153 unbroken
Yep! Not every time, but I've done 300-350 a few times over the years.
You didn't mention the timing of the last pull each round on the rower as regards roll-over meters. It looks like you can just stop pulling before you get to 300 and put the handle back in the holder and sit on the rower until it rolls over to 300...? Can you take your feet out before it gets to 300? (I'm thinking not.)
The rules only state you must remain seated until the rower gets to 300. So I believe your strategy is ok.
You just can't get out of the seat until it hits 300. I think you can put the handle down and take your feet out.
Wouldn’t a triangle floor setup be faster than parallel?
Yeah, looks like an even better setup is having the rope between the barbell and the rower. As long as your barbell doesn't roll around, that's better so you don't have to step over the barbell
11:32 😂

Tks for the tips…I disagree about DU, I believe the rest is on the row and the workout is about DU…
I am gonna do this today lets see how it Goes!!!
Good Lucky to everybody!!!
If you're proficient at DU and DL, then over 50% of the workout is spent on the rower. For me this is a big rowing workout!
What weight of rope are you using there?
Speed rope is the 1.3oz, heavy rope is the 3.4 ounce!

What if u got noone to count ur double unders
And my arms get tired after about 19 double unders I feel like my arms start to move away from my body
Removing my laces so they won't catch on the rope XD
Double knots are good but not too tight, some people like me have feet that will swell and hurt like crazy... so it's better if my shoes are not tight but still double knotted so they don't come apart.
But I need to pull the straps in order to not fall off the rower 😂🙈. With my tiny and very skinny feet
£200+ for the Rope with shipping to UK :/
Yeah that one isn't cheap, but their other ropes are a little more affordable! The Evo FRE is the same rope, but PVC handles instead of metal... saves a decent amount of $$ for a great rope!
The advise from everyone is always the same. Pace, don't start too fast lol.
Unfortunately this is usually the thing that EVERYONE forgets

No one can sprint for 3 minutes
If 185 is about my 50percent of my 1rep max , should I try to do unbroken? I really dislike rower but love double under … should be better than 24.1 😇
